The gasoline tank is the welded type with capacity increased to 18 gallons. Notice, please, the engines' front support mounted directly on the frame front cross member and that the rear of the engine is supported by a shorted and more rigid cross member. The front cross member which holds the individual front wheel suspension has also been increased. The X-members, too, have deeper channel sections increasing rigidity. The side members are made deeper for greater strength. Next, let's look at the frame and foundation of this Luxury Liner Dodge. The wheel rims are thicker, too, and more durable.
